What about bioperine? The black pepper extract? I thought turmeric needed it to be effective?

The bioavailability of BCM-95 is about 6.93-fold compared to normal curcumin and about 6.3-fold compared to curcumin-lecithin-piperine formula. See See http://1.usa.gov/1wnTtwO and http://www.bcm95.com/ for more information. As an FYI, BCM-95 is 100% pure turmeric extract standardized to curcumin, demothoxy curcumin, bis-demothoxy curcumin and essential oils of turmeric rhizome.

I don't know about that...I got the curcumin from my nutrionist and he didn't mention anything about black pepper extract. What I can say is this is a miracle pill. I feel a big difference when I stop taking them. This is excellent for anyone that has any kind of inflammation/pain anywhere in their body. Hands down, this is better than any prescription anti inflammatory medicine I've ever taken.

I have never heard of anything needing black pepper for absorption. I would be highly skeptical of any such statement. I have used Meriva and other turmeric curcumin products for a long time and have never thought of using black pepper with it. Meriva and Curaphen are quite effective.

500mg of Curcumin C3 - complex turmeric standardized extract. 475mg of which of 95% are actually curcuminoids 2.5mg are something called bio perine - black pepper extract for superior absorption. Also the capsule is vegetarian (plant cellulose) All of the above is written on the bottle. Hope this helps!

I haven't heard that about curcumin. I continue to love this supplement. Had the thumbs up from a few drs. (gen'l internist, natropath and rheumatologist). Just read recently also good for general inflammation that could lead to various cancers as well. I'm going to keep taking this!

I know they are quite similar (can be taken on an empty stomach too). I quite like New Chapter's Turmeric Force but I think this one comes down to personal preference. In that case, I would try one out and see what your body says!

I have seen amazing improvement in my skin using Skin Medica TNS. I think it's worth every penny. I've used lots of skin serums that claim to do wonders, but the Essential Serum is the only one that I feel made a real difference.

None of my research has ever indicated any additives to Tumeric in any form. One of the healthiest foods/herbs available. Enjoy, risk free.

Bioperine is derived from black pepper whereas BCM-95 comes from the essential oils of the tumeric root, reintroduced after the curcumin is extracted to multiple the amount in the supplement.
